Broadcom 4310...the impossible wireless card!

(sorry for my bad english).
I've got a notebook HP Compaq 6720s with a Wireless Card "Broadcom 4310".
This cars doesn't work with the open driver b43 and b43legacy, and doesn't work with ndiswrapper.
Do you have any solutions for me?

Buy a new card.

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

BCM 4310 - This device has an LP PHY. We think that means low power. In any case, previous code does not work. The reverse engineers have translated a great deal of the code and are currently generating specs for the code writers.

Looks like the card most likely will be supported by b43 in the future, but I would still suggest that you follow streaker69's advice and get a better card.
